Room was in moderate condition. The room above us could be heard day and night. There we vacuums, drills, and heavy walking into the later hours. Sounded like staff was living up there. Everything a bit dated as well.

The last 2 times I’ve stayed here there wasn’t a top sheet on my bed. Only a bottom one and a sheeted duvet cover. I highly doubt that the cleaning staff removes the duvet cover sheets daily to wash thus I’m extremely concerned about the cleanliness and sanitization of the bedding

Great staff. Restaurant and bar were wonderful. Staff was very helpful. Rooms were cozy, nice balconies for relaxing. Close to main roadway, but secluded from seeing it, so you feel tucked away. A short drive from restaurants, bars, shopping and attractions. Close enough for a day trip getaway to the wine country.

Not a great stay to say the least. Room was so outdated and walls were dirty. Bathroom wall had speckle falling off with mold behind it. Remote control did not work and one of the outlets did not work. Room had terrible musky smell when I arrived. Less than basic accommodations at a price too high for what the room is worth.
